anyone working with marmoratas

[Brandon Parry]

I have a pair of O. marmoratas and wanted to see what a good wieght and size for breeding is. Mine are about a year old and are around 90mm in svl. I have heard that 3 years is a good age to start breeding them but that sounded pretty long. Anyone have any input would be apprciated.

Hi Heather,

I`m not working with O. marmorata, but I read in a german article that they are ready to breed with 12 month but it`s better when the female are 18 month. Most Oeduras are adult with 12 month, but they are not full-grown. I think older female will produce bigger babies.
